The New Music Help Desk is a unique opportunity for composers and performers to get face time with Spektral – to ask pointed questions about notation, feasibility, tuning systems, harmonics, or simply how to stay motivated in the midst of a quarantine.
If you are interested in participating (or just watching), complete this brief form:

We will select a few questions in advance and then open it up to attendees using the Zoom Q&A feature. Which is to say, even if yours is not one of the few chosen beforehand, you can still ask us your question live during the event. If we don't get to your query this time around, have no fear. We’ll keep all submissions in the mix for future Help Desk sessions.
For this event we are bringing you Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Du Yun, an absolute force of nature in the contemporary music world and a lovely human being, to boot. We’ve had her album Dinosaur Scar on rotation since it dropped, and her creativity seems to snowball with each passing season.
Du Yun is as much an advocate for music as a creator of it, and we know you won’t soon forget your encounter with her at the Help Desk!
